I plan to take a commuter flight to Chicago - ORD and then fly out to Toronto - same thing coming home. Toronto to Chicago ORD and then commuter back to Decatur. How much time do I need in Chicago before I get on the plane to Toronto? And, returning home, how much time do I allow in Toronto before I board back to Chicago. I just want to have enough time and not miss a flight due to international stuff. Thanks!

You won't have to do any "International stuff" in Chicago either way. If you aren't checking a bag then 60-90 minutes should be enough time both ways. On your way back from Toronto you will pre-clear US Immigration and Customs in Toronto. Air Choice One uses Terminal 3, the same terminal as American and is connected to the terminals used by Air Canada and United inside security.

No, I'm just taking a carry on bag, short trip. Really? I don't have to do anything in Chicago on my way to Canada? I was told I'd need plenty of time to go thru customs. Well, that makes planning easier - so, 2 hours would be plenty, correct? I know ORD is huge.

Yes, 2 hours is plenty of time. There is no US Customs when leaving the US. You will go through Canadian immigration and Customs when you get to Toronto and as I mentioned you will pre-clear US Immigration and Customs in Toronto on your return to the US.

Hello everyone, I have a flight with United from Toronto (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD) on 11-10-2015, then I have a connection fight also with United to Portland (PDX). But the layover time at ORD only 54 mins, do I have enough time for the immigration and flight connection? And also, I have one checked bag, do I need to take it out and check in again at ORD airport? Thanks

You will go through US Immigration and Customs in Toronto. All you have to do in Chicago is walk from your arrival gate to your departure gate. All United gates in Chicago are connected inside security. You have enough time.

I am flying from Columbus Ohio to ORD. I have a 1 hour 58 minute layover before my flight leaves for Shanghai. Is this enough time? First time flyer and tickets through United. Just using carry on luggage.

If you purchased two separate tickets you will have to claim your bag from American, take it to Terminal 1 and re-check it with United and go back through security. You will barely have enough time if your AA flight is on-time. If you can do your trip without a checked bag I highly recommend it as then you can stay inside security.

Hi, I'm flying United into terminal two and half an hour and a half to make an Awr Lingus connection to Dublin. My bags will be checked through, but I'm not sure if I'll have my boarding pass. 1) can I get through security at terminal 5 with the sticker so I can get my boarding pass at the gate? 2) Is an hour and a half enough time to make my connection?

I'll be flying into ORD from Austin, TX and taking a connecting flight to Toronto, Canada (Both flights are American Airlines). I have one hour in between flights, so my question is: Will I have to pick up my baggage and re-check it? If so, is an hour enough time?

No, you don't have to do anything with your bags in Chicago. You just walk from your arrival gate to your departure gate both in Terminal 3. You should have plenty of time. You will go through Canadian immigration and customs when you get to Toronto.
